The next day, everyone went to the nearby Hai Island for snorkeling and sea fishing, while Lu Liang was invited to the municipal building.
Hai Island is quite large, only slightly smaller than Taiwan by 0.06 square kilometers, separated from the Mainland by an 18-kilometer strait.
This strait not only separates the two places but also grants Hai Island more administrative autonomy compared to other Mainland provinces.
Promoting the new energy industry is a significant national policy. Hai Island, due to its geographical location and high transportation costs, has relatively high oil prices. Its wind and solar industries are fairly developed, making it naturally suited for new energy development.
Hai Island has its own automaker, Haima Automobile, but Haima has faced difficult times. The last new model they launched was the M8 in 2013, and they hadn't introduced any new products in three years. In the past three years, the M8 had sales of only about 100,000 units.
